EXCERPT:
Conspiracy theorists claimed Sen. Mitch McConnell had suffered a heart attack, and some even claimed he was no longer alive and his death was being kept hidden.
But he issued a statement Sunday and provided proof of life — a photo of himself smiling alongside his wife, Elaine Chao, taken from his bed at a rehabilitation facility.
Mr. McConnell, 84, said he was recovering from a fall and a case of pneumonia and would eventually be returning to work in the Senate.
The June 14 fall left him unconscious, the Kentucky Republican said.
“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia,” Mr. McConnell said.
